Duly noted. Is there a way to edit the header? I don't seem to be able to...

Loved Superdrag back in the day. If this is for fans of superdrag and MBV I am all over it!

Now that this is (finally) out, I was wondering if anyone here picked it up & if anyone has enjoyed it as much as I did? I am currently obsessed with this one...

I do! I do!

Really digging it. It's a great amalgamation of Johnathan Davis' range of styles: effortless pop sensibilities, chaotic but mellow noise even classic rock and country. Listening to it feels like it was an easy record to make.

It is like a shoe gaze Beach Boys record. The harmonies are impeccable.

ok, made it through start to finish. Its great! I feel like it'll need a efw more listens for me to give a good review.

Accurately described above but there's something a little more dense and detailed here. And the last track really suprised me! Its like, with other records, they're not at all afraid to nod to whatever they're listening too or being influenced by, but J. Davis can always put a spin on it entirely his own. Really enjoying their output post-Superdrag. And I'm saying that as someone who really enjoyed Superdrag. :ph34r:

Crocodile Tears is my current fave track. Also seems like he's dealing with death, grief, letting go in this album.

Thanks for bringing this project to my attention. Loved Superdrag back in the day. Excited to hear what John's latest work sounds like.

Fast forward almost two months. This is far and above my favorite album of the year. Its just so good. The songs, harmonies, guitars, hooks, production, meaning, everything. I haven't felt this way about an album in a looooong. time. I also haven't listened to something as many times in a long while. Def picking up the vinyl and other merch to support.

Anyone else thinking this might actually be John Davis' best work? I love SD but man....this album...

Sorry, never gushed about a record this much in my adult life. :blush:
Glad we got this thread. 8)
